Genesis 4:13-16 (New International Version)

13 Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is more than I can bear. 14 Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me."

15 But the LORD said to him, "Not so [a] ; if anyone kills Cain, he will suffer vengeance seven times over." Then the LORD put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. 16 So Cain went out from the LORD's presence and lived in the land of Nod, [b] east of Eden. (2 years and 90 days ago)

Pretty cool image but IMO the highlight should be more intense on his back not side. Reply »

Nice job, but the lighting seems to be a bit odd, try experimenting with different blending modes, maybe. Good luck Reply »

Welll Mxlove.. I could have made him with Rainbows shooting out his Butt, I just didn't think it fit the mood.. I tried to do what you said Nator and earthion and Ponti.. but unless there is a lot of contrast and color all I see is gray.. my eyes don't work very good.. but I did want to try something..did desaturate a bit and added a little more light to the back (I was afraid to go to far and end up with a glop (which I did on several tries) thanks for all your help!!!
